I think he said that specific animations on clay court is planned for the game, but not too soon as there's more important stuff to do before that!

piter777,
thanks ; I'm glad you enjoy the Alpha so much already and it's cheering me up and I surely need some lately..!

JaNeZoKu,
Unity might have a bug there. Could you send me a Bug Report, I'll check if I can do anything or report it to Unity ? (HowTo => topic5-31732.php )

Is there world tour available in Teniis Elbow 4 yet? The only thing I can play is the training club, am I missing something?

[Ethanovic]

Keep going Manu. Will always play TE thanks to you. No other tennis game compares.

electrictennis,
I already answered you by email :

Yes, but currently the World Tour mode is like Tennis Elbow Manager 2, so there are coaching elements that will be removed soon enough so after the World Tour will play more or less like in TE2013.

If you don't like management, lower the coaching difficulty in World Tour -> Resume Current Game -> Hire & Buy -> Coach Info.

Ethanovic,
thanks !

Thank you!

I would like to put my reviews on TE4 doubles which no one has given so far. I think the most improved part of TE4 over its prior version is the doubles gameplay. In TE2013, the points were mainly deceided on the unforced errors, now you will have winners too in the game. Now you can smack a winner standing at the baseline and beat opponents both at baseline or at net, which was very rare in TE2013. The body shots are more rewarding in TE4. Next comes the most important part, those long crazy net rallies that we used to get in TE2013 has almost disappeared. Now in TE4 the points ends quickly as it should be in a doubles. The AI is much better now, it plays for the winners, not just putting the ball back in play. Still I would like to have AI more aggressive at the net. The volley animations are much better now but still some polishing is required. Overall the graphics with 4 players on the court looks stunning.

Is it possible for someone who got TE4 to publish 2 minutes of the current gameplay ?

Thank you. Not enough people play and have comments on double matches.

noys390,
thanks for your detailed doubles review !
I actually did _zero_ change for the doubles..!
So it's very nice to see that it works better than before just from the more realistic physics & AI improvements done for the singles play. I guess it shows that I took the right direction will all these changes as it gives a more realistic experience all along.

Lit0s,
yes, but only on the Forum (ie: set your video to "unlisted" in Youtube). You can also send the video link to your friends.

It would be great if someone made a video of the gameplay here. I'm without a PC for now and I would love to see how the game is doing.

[Lit0s]

Yeah actually I don't have the game either so if anyone could do that for us it would awesome

Hello,

So I started a career now that this is implemented. I have started in the Junior Tour but after the beginning it seems that I can't improve my players skills despite having experience ? How can I do it ?

[manutoo]

Vince75,
at 14 years old, all skills are limited to 20%. It's written in your character sheet, but I have forgotten to also show it during the creation process, plus your player might get too many points anyway...
It should be fixed for the next update.

[Vince75]

But I'm not yet to 20%. When I want to improve skills nothing happens and the ball on the top right appears and it says something like "process menu" with number that increase ?

If all skills are limited to 20% is it normal to see opponents at more than 20% in junior tour?
